It’s a common sight throughout the year for Vancouverites and visitors to round a corner and step into an enchanting, snow-covered scene complete with foreign taxis, fluffy snow defying warm and sunny weather, and camera crews capturing every second. Vancouver is rife with productions filming holiday heartwarmers – and a few comedies that’ll jingle your bells, too – and the city’s myriad Yuletide events cast a festive glow that people can enjoy off-screen, too.

This season, revisit some of your old holiday favourites and discover new finds – you’ll be surprised at how many productions you’re familiar with were filmed or digitally finished in Vancouver.

Every day between now and December 12 (excluding weekends), Tourism Vancouver will profile one holiday film or TV show shot in Vancouver, paired with a can’t-miss Vancouver holiday attraction or activity. Select film-and-attraction pairings will be accompanied by a prize giveaway of one or more pairs of tickets to the highlighted attraction (some of the attractions offer free admission). All you need to do is comment on the post to enter!

Christmas at Granville Island.

Here are the attractions that will be highlighted during the 12 Productions of Christmas:

What a great prize. I would love to see more of Vancouver and the surrounding areas.

As a born and bred Vancouverite, even I have to admit that I need to see all these attractions – which I regret I have not.

I would love to see many of these attractions – especially the Festival of Lights at VanDusen Botanical Garden and the Holiday Traditions Start at Vancouver Aquarium. Thanks for the chance. Goof Luck, everyone.

My husband and I would love to experience the Christmas
Classics Granville Island Foodie Tour. It sounds like so much
fun and an excellent way to way to gain some new ideas
for our family Christmas celebration.
